Perverse Sense Of Humor

A colleague of mine had a "new-age" type patient in psychological therapy. She was always speaking of her great desire for "inner growth". Her subconscious heard her words and gave it to her: cancer tumors. That's real inner growth - not what she meant but truly what she said. She died from them.

A teacher of mine related the story of a man who successfully visualized lots of money - giving it out and receiving it. He got a job as a bank teller. A temple woman visualized having a husband. Soon lots of husbands were giving her attention - the husbands of other women!

It appears to me that the subconscious has a seemingly perverse humor - giving us just what we said - even if not exactly what we meant. That being so, it behooves us to choose our words very precisely indeed - with no chance of double meanings with undesired intent.
